1. Colorful Kitchens

That means white cabinets and stainless steel appliances are making their way out.

Instead, cabinets in rich colors such as dark woods, blues, deep grays like charcoal, and sage will take their place. For the less bold, natural neutral cabinets will step in.

Expect to see colored cabinets complemented by colorful metallic sinks and countertops made of naturally bold materials such granite and concrete.

Adding color to your kitchen will create a more chic and sophisticated appeal.

2. Practical Kitchens

Practical kitchens are back! And the trend has parents, busy-bodies, and cooking-lovers rejoicing everywhere.

In 2018, the kitchen has become a place where things get done more easily and more practically. Here’s what we’re seeing:

Dedicated Stations

What was once a trend among avid chefs is making its way to the homes of everyday people. Stations dedicated to specific kitchen activities such as chopping, baking, and coffee are all the hype.

They provide more space for cooking as well as organization that stays. There are tons of different ways to create kitchen stations that work for all types of kitchens.

Anti-bacterial Countertops

No more having to wipe down your countertops after every meal with the new Krion(R) technology.

The countertops kill bacteria and chemicals. It even purifies the air around the surface (crazy, right?). Plus, these countertops are made of ecological materials and come in lots of colors.

Dining Tables in Kitchens

Who wouldn’t love this trend? It’s especially practical for families.

Dining tables in kitchens give the room a more cozy feel, provides more surface space, and makes it easy to transfer from cooking to eating.

3. Bold Living Rooms

To match colorful kitchens, colorful living rooms will be trending in 2018, too.

We’re talking couches in bold hues such as red, deep blues, and greens. Add in some modern accents that combine texture and geometric shapes and you have a chic living space.

Another trend in bold livings rooms will be bright wall color and shapes. The hottest interior colors this year are nautical tones, bright red, and dark grays.

4. Wallpaper

Wallpaper is making a comeback. And why not? It fits the theme of bold and bright we’re seeing.

Expect to see wallpaper in bright colors and patterns used as a decorative feature to a room.

For living rooms and dining spaces, decorate one wall or central piece of the room such as the chimney wall. For bedrooms, wallpaper can give texture behind the bed.

If you’re not into wallpaper, you can find tile that looks like wallpaper, concrete, wood, resin, and fabric. Any option would add texture and uplift a room.

5. Botanical Bedrooms

Nature-inspired interior designs have been trending for a while now and they’re not going anywhere in 2018. What’s more calming than nature?

Within this trend, you’ll find natural tones that are both subtle and calming. Look for neutral browns and beige as well as soft greens.

Botanical prints, including florals, will also be trending for bedrooms. Add in a botanical wallpaper or a floral-print bedspread to bring the room together.

Throughout the home, concrete accents are trending. Furniture, decorative pieces, wallcoverings made of concrete, and stone floors add modernity and sleek.

For kitchens, we’re doing away with stainless steel and adding more colorful materials like copper and rose gold. A metallic sink paired with rose gold appliances will look perfect in a colorful kitchen.

You will find all types of metals in home furniture, such as metallic table and chair legs. And for the bathroom, metallic sinks, backsplash, and mirrors are getting all the rage.
